Every year, the city of Freiberg welcomes many thousands of visitors. Quite a few of them are hindered by a handicap during their tour of the city.
With a corresponding resolution of the city council as a basis, the city is endeavouring to gradually become an accesible city so that every visitor can experience Freiberg's diverse sights in the same way.
The following tips are intended to provide support for an accessible city tour in the Old Town.
